Georgia uses a drivers license point system. In Georgia, if you are under 18 years of age, an accumulation of 4 or more points within a twelve month period will result in a suspension of your Georgia driver's license for at least six months. If you are 18 but under 21, any violation of 4 or more points will result in a license suspension for at least six months. If you are 21 or older and accumulate 15 or more points in any consecutive 24 month period, your license will be suspended for one year. Early reinstatement is possible if certain conditions are met.

Look below to find a list of moving violations contained in Chapter 40 of the Official Code of Georgia that carry points. You will be able to see the number of points that each offense carries. You may want to contact a Georgia traffic ticket attorney to help you avoid or limit the number of points on your driver's license.
